Everybody does things well in their own aspect. We're all different. We all have our plusses and minuses.
I'm happy to dance with anyone, to be honest. I've had some great partners, who have all been talented. But not all of them at dancing.

I like to combine different aspects in my work, to cover different areas, but I do see them as being separate.
I've always done a few things at once. I've always been a musician and an actor, at the same time.
